1. Borders of Europe are mostly derived from the www.Euratlas.com map of Europe in 600 AD and to a lesser extent, their map of Europe in 500 AD.
- (Please note: User:Bogomolov.PL has done a great job of showing me possible discrepancies in my north European borders compared to this source, due to the differences in the geographical layout of the maps.)
2. Borders of Britain derived from "Early British Kingdoms" map of Britain in 550 AD and their map of Britain in 575 AD.
3. Borders of Asian countries are mostly derived from the Huhai.net maps of Asia in 500 AD and Asia in 610 AD.
- Other Asian information came from Wikipedia articles related to countries and peoples depicted in this map.
